Is there any way of preventing the effect of global warming in the world.?

Answer 1

When I was in school, we were told of the coming ice age. Now it is global warming. Dr. Grey (of the national hurricane center) just called Al Gore an alarmist. Al Gore's only expertise is in bovine scatology. (And inventing the Internet).
I think is is arrogant to think that man could change anything on this planet. Consider the area and mass of the Earth. We are just little specks on a giant ecology.
That does not mean that we should act as gluttonous pigs. It just means the Earth naturally goes through cycles, and we have not measured them long enough to make any predictions, or cause any affect that could influence them.

Answer 2

Preventing global warming would help.

Step 1: Outlaw fossil fuelled power plants (yes, I know full well that solar and wind can't replace them, nuclear can though and it is good enough).

Step 2: Make people realise that the global warming denialists are wrong (we seem to have done this step first actually).

Step 3: Find something to replace oil for transportation

Step 4: Fix whatever damage we've done so far.

The effects of global warming can probably be mitigated to some extent although the only way to get rid of the effects would be to not heat up the planet.

Answer 3

Global warming is a natural cycle the earth goes through, BUT we humans have added to the cycle making it worse then would normally happen. Factor in the sun's high output lately and you get a very dangerous mix that will heighten the effects.

Answer 4

Prevent global warming by minimizing drafts in your home.
One of the simplest and easiest ways to prevent global warming is to make sure all your windows and doors are draft free. Small gaps in your windows and doors can cause you to consume a lot more energy than you really need to in order to heat and cool your home. To make your home free from drafts wait until a cold day, then hold your hand along the edges of your doors and windows feeling for cold air. If you detect drafts, buy weather ********* from your local hardware store and install it wherever it is needed.

Prevent global warming by reducing your waste electricity use.
Amazingly about 11% of residential electricity consumption is used by "phantom loads." A phantom load is caused when an electrical appliance draws electricity when it isn't in use. For example, a DVD player has an electrically lighted display that stays on even when you turn the power off. An easy way to eliminate these phantom loads is to plug your computers, printers, scanners, DVD players, televisions, etc. into multi-plug electrical surge protectors. Then, with one flick of the switch, you can make sure that the appliances plugged into your surge protectors are drawing no electricity at all.

Prevent global warming with more efficient light bulbs!
One of the simplest ways to prevent global warming is by using more efficient light bulbs. The Union of Concerned Scientists tell us that if every American household replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent one, then over the life of the bulbs 90 billion pounds of CO2 emission would be prevented from going into the atmosphere. This is like taking 6.3 million cars off the road!

Prevent global warming by turning down your hot water heater.
Most of us have our hot water heaters turned up too high. If you turn down your hot water thermostat just 10 degrees Fahrenheit, you reduce 3% to 5% of your energy consumption. You'll have plenty of hot water if you set your water heater between 110-120°F.

These four simple ways to prevent global warming can be implemented quickly, easily, and with little to no expense.

If the potential effects of global warming are really scary to you, then you should implement these changes in your life today, but don't stop there!

Once you've implemented these solutions, share this article with your friends, and explain to your friends how you've made these simple changes. Be sure to offer your friends help and support in making these changes themselves to make it extra easy for them to prevent global warming with you.

Answer 5

Preventing, no. Getting ready for the effects is, however, very possible and would be the wisest use of our global resources.

Answer 6

global warming i dont think can be stopped but we can stop helping it becoming faster,this requires global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

POSITIVE ACTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use

here are a 100 more ways

Answer 7

not prevent. Global warming had occured since earth was born. We can only REDUCE the effect.

Answer 8

I doubt it. It is not really up to us to meddle in it anyway. A warmer planet can support more life.

Think of the effects of global cooling and decide which you would rather face.

Answer 9

stop driving cars!
stop the factories from burning coal and pollutants!
shut off all electricity for an hour a day - on all levels!
stop mass tree cutting!
stop digging up the earth!

Work with me, people! All the destruction that's being done is MAN MADE!! We all have a choice, and that doesn't mean pointing the finger to someone else to make that choice - we ALL have to make a choice on how long we live on planet earth, before we permanently destroy it!

Answer 10

We can't prevent it (unless we go back to living in caves) but we can reduce it by limiting the amount of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Basically it all comes down to your lifestyle choices. Take a leaf out of Frank m's book, instead of using fuel to go to your girlfriend's house, stay home and have sex with your sister.
